I am a PhD candidate at Northwestern University in the Interactive Audio Lab, under Prof. Bryan Pardo. The objective of my research is to create machines that can understand the auditory world like humans can. I work in machine learning, music information retrieval, audio source separation, music structure and similarity, acoustics, and human computer interaction.

ClapIR is an application that allows users to measure the acoustic properties of rooms quickly and easily. From a simple recording of a clap, or other loud noise, the app calculates reverberation time, decay curve, frequency decay, frequency response, and impulse spectra.
